SC to Telangana: Restore Kancha Gachibowli forest or face jail
Capital Information
|May 19, 2025
Coming down heavily on the Telangana government, the Supreme Court has ordered the state authorities to either restore Hyderabad's Kancha Gachibowli forest or be prepared to face penal consequences.
-
The SC spelt out its firm stand during a suo motu hearing regarding large-scale deforestation in the Kancha Gachibowli area of Hyderabad.
The apex court stayed all further felling of trees in the region and issued a stern warning:
A bench comprising Justice B.R. Gavai and Justice A.G. Masih made it unequivocally clear that "not even a single tree should be felled" in the 100-acre forest area.
